[citation][nom]A Bad Day[/nom]Well, the only option left is to wait around for Intel to repeat the Netburst fiasco and short-sell their stocks.[/citation]
I don't think that Intel will do that again.
[citation][nom]pjmelect[/nom]I wonder if one day Intel will make AMD processors instead of GF. It makes sense as Intel would get a cut of of the AMD sales and AMD would get more advanced production facilities also Intel would not have problems with the monopolies commission if AMD were to stop competing with Intel[/citation]
If Intel made some of AMD's processors, then Intel would lose some market share to AMD, unless they did a poor job of it or AMD manages to make a worse CPU than the current FX CPUs (I doubt that AMD would do this). AMD's market share would need to be kept minimal by Intel in order for this to work out because Intel wants a competitor, but not serious competition, unless Intel somehow makes more money by making AMD processors than they would be making their own processors.
Otherwise, Intel would be losing money because if a customer would pay say $130 for an Intel i3, Intel gets all of the profits, but if a customer pays for a $130 AMD COU, Intel would at best only get a fairly small cut of it. So, maybe Intel would make high core count CPUs, but it doesn't look like it would work out with Intel making low end AMD CPUs unless Intel keeps their market share low enough to not challenge their profits much, but high enough to keep anti-trust lawsuits from killing Intel.
